[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jhtfarquhar:
Hey everybody, I've seen numerous threads in general about porting, in general, but what about building a rom specifically for our device, what would that take? I've seen the android "kitchen" post on building roms, but the exhibit II isn't supported. I have also noticed that almost all our roms are ported from other devices. Is there any particular reason for that?

Are there any threads here about that, since I haven't found any?

And if not, could any of you guys help me learn.

I have a computer with 6gigs ram, i5 2nd Gen, and a giganormous hard drive, dual booting win7 and Ubuntu 12.10, but well, I need help learning all of this stuff.

Thank You, in advance.

EDIT: Mods, please move this thread to the correct section

So this was strange.

Riding the bus in Los Angeles listening to music and surfing the web on my phone when LTE pops up. Now as you can see I have PRL 1 which forces roaming on Verizon towers. I checked my speeds to see if this was indeed true and I was hitting 16mbps+.

This lasted about a minute until I moved out of the area and signal went back to 3G.

Anyone can explain?

Screenshot attached as proof
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ydoucare:
Sure, you rode by a Sprint tower that was broadcasting LTE. You can't connect to Verizon LTE as you don't have the proper hardware (VZW LTE: 700 mhz, Sprint LTE: 1900 mhz)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aseercte:
They're testing lte in los Angeles that prl is just roaming on Verizon 3g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bad_HABIT:
That doesn't explain why I don't get LTE signal on the Verizon PRL on spots I know to have Sprint LTE though. For example at home I get a steady LTE signal -although at joke speeds. sometimes I'll be hitting 4mbps other times I'll get lucky if i even hit 1mbps- but I'll still use PRL 1 and not get Sprint LTE.

So was this a glitch that made me jump on Sprint tower although I was on forced roaming?

I think of going back and testing if this happens again. For anyone in LA, this was in Figueroa and Colorado Pasadena, CA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aseercte:
Dude I'm rocking the same prl and I live were Verizon has lte I don't get lte .so you just lucky and live by were they're testing sprint lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Nice to sew there is some signs of lte in pasadena. I was in west covina over the weekend and there was no lte. There is some in el Monte apparently.

But Sprint LTE is different from PRL as PRL is just for 3g and the gs3 had two antennas .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] offtohavasu:
LA is starting to go live with LTE. Anywhere near a freeway you'll get it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
This has been explained numerous times... when you are roaming (on Verizon) but you have an LTE connection, it is two different signals. You are getting EVDO/1xRTT coverage from Verizon and LTE coverage from Sprint... no one on Sprint is roaming Verizon's LTE. Two different frequency spectrums of throughput.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Actually, I think the OP meant it's impossible to grab Sprint's LTE 1900 on a Verizon only PRL. Due to common belief, it's said you must be on a Sprint PRL that has LTE enabled to connect to it. The OP's situation is a rare one.

I wonder if Digiblur can enlighten us here, since I've always believed you needed a Sprint-Only LTE capable PRL to connect to Sprint's LTE network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bad_HABIT:
Exactly this.

I wasn't aware I could jump to Sprint LTE on a Verizon only PRL considering in areas I do get Sprint LTE coverage, I won't get 4G unless I update my PRL to a Sprint one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
I hit 13mbit near the bathrooms at the universal studios Hollywood Jurassic parking lot the other week. LAX only had 8mbit LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
I thought there was no roaming agreement for LTE on Verizon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Hes not on Verizon LTE, he was on Sprint LTE. What he was wondering is what @Overstew posted about the "common belief is that you need a Sprint only PRL with LTE enabled to catch LTE" bit

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
Can't you just check your assigned LTE IP address to see if it was issued by Verizon or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
I bet if you look at the LTE engineering screens it shows a Sprint PCS G block connection. From what I have seen in the past, you do need a PRL with the MCC/MNC records for that Geo. I have seen the Nexus not need this, probably because it doesn't have a qualcomm chipset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nightvision1:
From what I know.. ..there isn't. He could use roam control to see what carrier he is on.

PRL version 1?

Will someone please link me to the file for PRL version 1? (assuming this is still the best option) I am in a rural area where Verizon has 4Glte but sprint data sucks. I've searched but can't find it. Also, if I switch to s stock rooted rom, flash it, and then recover my current rom (Eclipse), will the PRL stick or revert back to what it was?

Thanks,

foos
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonsofcp:
I don't believe that is possible. Verizon and sprint use different frequencies for lte. They only share 3g and 2g frequency.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fooshack:
I found 1,2,3 and a couple others but none of them will give me 3g but I know it's here. I wasn't trying to get 4g, as nice as it would be.

Couple days ago my beloved Bell E973 wont reay sim card.

Here is what happed. the original from bell, but I bought a unlocked code to use my Rogers sim. It's working perfect for 2 or 3 weeks. I love the screen. personal I like it bettter than S3.

I did not root or unlock the bootloader and one day when I put sim card in, it just said NO SIM. I tried with bell sim. same :(

So I rooted and tried all kind of ROMs, even F180S. that's fun. but still wont read sim.

If anyone buy it as a parts or want to fix it. let me know. I am in Toronto
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
You tried to re-unlock it ?

Also, if you flashed korean firmware, your radio will mostly be gone.

i saw your post on kijiji lmfao !! we live around each other lmao!!
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Did you put it in the proper way?

I made the mistake of putting a sim in the wrong way once on my BB and even took it to a Rogers store and then felt like an idiot after the guy pointed out what I did.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
It's still under manufacturer warranty
[LG Optimus G (International)] cryolithic:
Two things about your phone:

I may be interested in it for parts, depending on price of course. Mine has a dead spot in the digitizer, and as I bought it second hand, LG won't warranty it for me. I'd not want to spend more than the price of a screen/digitizer assembly, so it might be worth more to someone else.

Have you tried a different sim in it? If the phone is unlocked, try a friend's sim card, maybe your sim just died. Edit: missed your reply about trying your friend's bell sim :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Have you tried a hard reset?

Have you tried reinstalling the original rom, using the original KDZ file and the "unbrick" method?
[LG Optimus G (International)] gabby131:
Can you browse internet, play store, or use any program with data connection via wifi?

- first, it might be the unlock procedure did it. I had 2 out 5 devices ran into this scenario after doing a factory unlock.

- second, but unlikely and super scarce situations, Bell might have locked up your device's IMEI that caused it. I got one relative that the carrier locked up his phone after doing a factory unlock.

Optimus G sim card inserted or removed all the variations of the device automatically restarts.

Did you notice this situation?

Inhabitants of this problem, removing or inserting the sim card would not open the device?
[LG Optimus G (International)] disruptorx:
Woo911, you have used wrong title for your thread thus eliminating people who might know a solution to your problem to ignore the thread, inability to read the sim doesn't mean your device is bricked. ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] blackmagiic:

When I first got the phone it would reboot when I inserted and removed SIM cards. It has since stopped doing this.
[LG Optimus G (International)] blackmagiic:
Just an update. I couldn't figure out how to unroot and relock my bootloader. I ended up sending it off to LG for warranty servicing via my carrier and they fixed it free of charge.

[Acer Iconia A500] raotheconqueror:
well here we go again. i push installed "gl tron" from the play store on my pc to my tablet. it showed it installed successfully. i then went to play "samurais vs zombies" and it crashed as it sometimes does for me. so i went to restart my tablet and now its stuck on the android logo with gears moving. last time it did this i tried random fixes and just made it worse and practically bricked it and some good guys here helped me get it up and running again. is there any easy fix for this not to lose all my data or make the issue worse? if not, what should i do to get it to work even if i lose my data? from what i understood last time was i had an issue in the data/media directory causing the issue. is that the case most likely this time? was it from the push install as i suspect, because it is very similar to what happened last time? i never got to do a proper cwm backup of my rom and data as i got an error and never fiddled with it again. some ideas or pointing in the right direction would be very helpful. i also would like info on how this could happen and how android works in order to avoid this in the future. thanks so much.

acer a500

skrilax_cz bootloader v8

Can you go to recovery. "clean up tab" then reinstall your ROM?

This won't touch your data and - may - get you running again.

i went to recovery but could not find a "clean up" selection. am i missing something? last time this happened, i tried to do a factory reset and all i got afterward was a droid with exclamation mark on his chest. from what i understood is that my a500 did not have a proper recovery partition which left my tablet nearly bricked. that's what i surmised from the info i read. thanks ta-wan.
[Acer Iconia A500] raotheconqueror:
wiped data/media and it set me back to honeycomb. i rebooted into recovery and installed lightspeed 4.8. lost all data but whatevs, my fault for not backing up. wont happen to me again...

Ok, maybe it's not completely useless but how on earth can a top-device-less-than-three-months-ago lag at every single move I make?

The situation gets considerably better with cyanogenmod and I'll never stop thanking devs for that, anyway it's still not the fluidity you'd expect.

Has it finished its time?

Edit: I must say that it's all going on from the jelly bean update, can't blame ics

The only reports of lag are often caused by overclocking and the SoC begins to wear down.

I started a same thread like this i which i disscussed how n y i regret buying this phone n said i shld hv gone for one x+ but unfortunately the thread was closed n most of the people didnt agree with me tht this phone doesnt behave the way it shld except a few. Few thing i noticed through.Most of the people who dnt agree with the phone being **** are either first time users or thy hv always stuck with samsung like some do with apple. Whatever u tell thm thy wont agree.some even compared it with one x while i was talking abt one x+ .

Anways i do agree with u. This phone is aweful. This phone needs some serious dev work n I think the lagging is due cortex cpu. Tegra pr snapdragon i know work very well.

Anyways smart marketing by samsung to lure people in,others shld learn from samsung bt only the marketing part :D

I think I had a few others in between as well. Been using stock or siyah depending on if I forget to flash siyah after rom but no lag. Oced to 1.6ghz, uved around 100-150mvs per clock.

If there's an android that has iphone's responsiveness to human stimuli, that's the perfect smartphone :&

No idea what's going on with your device, zero lags here and this is my third android device (in 6 years) and by far the best. As for no longer being top of the tree after three months (I thought it was released may 2012? no?) that's technology my friend. Try reading around and installing either an aosp rom, or a modded samsung base, BTW cm is not great on the sgs 3 due mainly to Samsungs policy of not releasing the sources or documentation the devs require.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meditating_Apes:
I was a bit confused about how to use OpenVPN on an Android device because there was so little information around. I thought I'd post this to make it easy for others. It turn out to be very simple. I have my Android phone (Note 2, Jellybean) rooted and Busybox installed,

but neither is necessary

.

The following steps relate to using an Android device with a commercial vpn service (like an anonymizing service among others), but this should help clarify in other situations too.

Step 1: download the OpenVPN config files from your vpn provider.

Step 2: download, install and start "OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe" (O4A) (get it from any android app source, it's free, but donation to the author is optional and its a great app).

Step 3: on the "VPN Profiles" page of O4A, use the folder icon upper right to browse to the .ovpn config file for a server, select, and save it on the following page. The server name will appear on the Profiles page.

Note: Sometimes the server config files include a .p12 file which O4A will want to import, then require a password to decrypt...just uncheck that file (upper left) before saving; later O4A will ask for a password, just leave it blank and hit "OK", it will connect just fine (at least with my vpn provider).

Step 4: open the settings for the server you just imported (icon to the right of the server name), navigate to the "Basic" page, and enter your username and password at the bottom of the page (if your provider uses the u/p type connection). YOU ARE DONE :) (but, you will need to repeat this for each server you want to use).

Step 5: tap on the server name on the "Profiles" page, O4A will open the log file and you will see it going through the steps of the connection process in both the log and the notification bar . When it's finished successfully, you'll see "connected". You can check the connection in the log file. Also depending on your device the connection will show in the notification bar for as long as its connected. You can disconnect by tapping the notification.

The correct configuration settings for OpenVPN are usually included in the .ovpn file, so you likely won't need to change any config setting in O4A. However, you can add the line "auth-nocache" to the .ovpn file manually or add it on the O4A page "Advanced -> Custom Options". This will prevent the username/password from being cached if that's important to you.

NOTE: Using dnsleaktest.com I have noticed that google dsn servers appear sometimes as a dns server. This

might

represent a dns leak as there would seem to be no reason, for example, for a European located server to use a U.S. located google dns server. I'm not clear about why the google servers are showing up, maybe someone can verify/clarify.

However, you can force a dns server of your choosing by going to the "IP and DNS" page of the server config settings in O4A, and select "Override DNS Setting by Server". You can then use the default dns servers chosen by the author or enter your own.

Enjoy! :)
